Manchester City have identified former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino as a possible successor to Pep Guardiola next summer, according to Simon Mullock in the Daily mirror.

The Catalan’s current contract runs out at the end of the 2020/21 campaign and most of his recent press conferences have focused on his future. He himself has maintained that his only focus is the next games and having the best possible season.

Previous reports, along with comments from club official Omar Berrada, have suggested that the final decision will be left firmly to Pep Guardiola and will depend entirely on whether the players react positively to his methods.

Mauricio Pochettino most recently enjoyed a brilliant five-year stint at Tottenham, where he guided his team to the 2019 Champions League final, narrowly losing to Liverpool.

The Argentine was fired in the early stages of the 2019/20 season after reportedly ‘lose the locker room’. Since then, some of the best clubs in the world have been interested in taking him to the helm, and both Manchester City and Manchester United were named as potential suitors.
